Baader Laser Colli - Mark III collimator

Quick Overview

The Baader Laser Colli - Mark III collimator allows collimation of Newton telescopes, even during daytime, and without bringing the telescope under the night sky. This accessory uses an internal battery powered red laser to make the collimation Newton telescope simple and fast, without having to spend time to collimate during the night! This laser collimator enables the collimation of both the primary and secondary mirrors, it offers a grid for precision collimation.

2) Place the collimator in the focuser, then turn the switch to turn it on.

3) Look at the red dot position on the primary mirror. Usually at the center of the Newton primary mirror there is a black circle to help you understand exactly where the center is: if the laser point is not in the center, it indicates a misalignment of the secondary mirror. Then use the secondary mirror collimation screws to perfectly center it.

4) Observe the red dot position on the reticle of the collimator. If it is not centered, it indicates a misalignment of the primary mirror. Then use the primary mirror collimation screws to bring the red dot at the center of the grid (on the hole).
